The College is primarily an academic research institution with particular strengths in the humanities and social and theoretical sciences and an outstanding library.

All Souls College was planned, built, and endowed in the 1430s by Henry Chichele, long-serving Archbishop of Canterbury. It received its foundation charter in 1438 from King Henry VI, co-opted by the Archbishop as the College's co-founder.

Through the Examination Fellowships and Post-Doctoral Fellowships, the College is strongly committed to academics at an early stage of their careers. At the same time the College has twenty-two Fellows of the British Academy (and a further twelve amongst its Emeritus Fellows), and three Fellows of the Royal Society.

All Souls was built at the heart of the University of Oxford, on the corner of High Street and Catte Street. It stands next to the 'University Church' of St Mary the Virgin, in which the University's self-governing 'Congregation' once met.
